I have recently acquired a new phone (and by that I do mean that I bought it!) and there is a very decent camera on it that is capable of videos, so I will be able to record some new music that I'll stick on here when it's done. The webcam I bought for that specific purpose has turned into something not quite what I was expecting and is a little too senstive to be able to record guitar with any decent sense of quality.
I'm currently very much enjoying listening to the musical aspiration of Jason Mraz, who's profile can be seen to the right. I was trawling youtube one day and same across a live version of "I'm Yours" after hearing it on the radio and loving it. Needless to say, after watching that video (posted below) I am hooked on his live music, which is, without doubt some of the best I have ever heard.
If you watched the video let me know by filling in this poll:
As part of one of my work projects I'm working, privately, on a weather system that will tell you what the weather is like, and is going to be like, simply by passing it your location (via town name, or, if you know it, weather code). This will eventually overwrite the old existing plug-in for my work project, which had one or teething issues after release and had to be taken down again. But this one uses ajax and deprecates nicely to nothing so if no weather can be retrieved the page loses weather, but that is all.
Using the ajax also by-passes an issue that was raised by using a cache-proxy to store web pages, rather than serving them directly from the server (to reduce server load). Obviously, anything but dynamic ajax data is going to be cached, so a weather report could end up being years out of date if the cache is not flushed each time the page is visited! And so is born my new method, which uses the Yahoo User Interface Connection manager, along with the very hady Yahoo Weather API to pull in a live feed from Weater.com, which can hopefully be styled too for that nice, added touch!
